Visit to Penang in March 2023 By Ben Wada on March 19, 2023 One of the World Heritage Sites I completed the trip to the former British Straits Settlement here in Penang, as I have already visited Singapore and Melaka. The history that local people in the seaside port cities of Malay have relations with Western World made George Town in Penang and Melaka, in Malaysia, a set of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites. The British East Asia Company built a fortress on the northeast side of Penang island. With the three tiny fortresses of George Town, Malacca (Melaka) and Singapore, BEAC was a powerful figure in the Southeast Asia region, before Japanese invasion,  The fact has inspired my imagination.  So I was satisfied with being in one of the fortresses – Fort Cornwallis – and seeing seas from there.
